Decentralized treatment

Decentralized treatment refers to providing healthcare services directly at or near the patient's location, rather than relying solely on large, centralized facilities. This approach allows for faster, more accessible care—such as clinics, mobile health units, or local specialized centers—making it easier for people in remote or underserved areas to receive timely treatment. It improves resource utilization, reduces travel time, and helps manage diseases more effectively by bringing healthcare closer to the community. Overall, decentralized treatment enhances access, efficiency, and responsiveness in healthcare delivery.
